I am rising on February 14th!

Today, on the planet, a billion women – one of every three women on the planet – will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION mothers, daughters, sisters, partners, and friends violated. We REFUSE to stand by as more than a billion women experience violence.

ONE BILLION WOMEN VIOLATED IS AN ATROCITY

BUT ONE BILLION RISING AGAINST SUCH VIOLENCE IS A REVOLUTION!

On February 14th, 2013, we are inviting one billion women and those who love them to walk out, DANCE, RISE UP, AND DEMAND an end to this violence. One Billion Rising is a promise that we will rise up with women and men worldwide to say, "Enough! The violence ends now."
